Benghazi, Libya WIP

[naive ermine]

Benghazi before gta6?! Hell yeah

[orchid gate]

Currently have CIA Annex, US Consulate, and a large chunk of the city completed.

Things to come:
More city
Skyscrapers
Airport
Benghazi Port
Oil Rigs
Rural farmlands
Possibly a made up military base (undecided)

Following satellite imagery of the city as best as possible. Obviously scales of buildings and roads are different in engine and irl.

[clever plover]

What's the map size gonna be

[orchid gate]

I think it's sitting at 24KMx24KM. currently I only have the areas shown completed. Outside of fixing reported issues, I'm looking to add a new section each month.

[clever plover]

Okay cool I'm excited for this

[minor pond]

Will there be a relationship with Kunar?

[orchid gate]

Should be out in a week. Lord willing.

[orchid gate]

What do you mean exactly? As in a dependency? Kunar is a dependency. Yes

[minor pond]

Okey

[orchid gate]

Kiok is working on a new map as well and from what I've seen, it looks incredible

[clever plover]

Fallujah right

[orchid gate]

The one I saw was Mogadishu

[clever plover]

Okay then I might have seen someone else doing fallujah then I think the TFG guys are doing helmand Provence

[orchid gate]

Yeah. I haven't heard any news on Helmand in awhile. Hopefully we get some news soon

[ionic lynx]

@rustic raven, @cyan sentinel , @hidden prism

[rustic raven]

wha

[ionic lynx]

I thought you might like this

[cyan sentinel]

looks awesome

[limber flax]

24x 24

as in 576 km²

[orchid gate]

Total map size, yes. That's including the ocean though too. Total landmass should be in the ballpark of 18kmx18km

[limber flax]

is a lot of it gonna be open desert or something?

[clever plover]

Most likely it'll be 314 km² of city because that's how big the entire city is irl if he's doing 576km²

[limber flax]

good luck man 😓

[hidden prism]

We’ll give it a try when it’s done

[zinc steppe]

Don't why this remind me of a movie called 13 hours it also had CIA annex and a US consulate.

[neat stream]

probably because that happened in Benghazi

[thorn flint]

Because the map is based of the real events that happened in 13 hours, it’s set in Benghazi

[zinc steppe]

Oh didn't know that thank you for letting me know

[vale sluice]

Is this map before or after the 2011 civil war

Looks pretty intact from the pictures but just wondering

[orchid gate]

It's up to your imagination. Sadly I don't have the assets currently to add many destroyed buildings. This is just the best I can do w what is available.

[vale sluice]

That’s fair I think the guy working on Grozny has the same problem

[orchid gate]

The 28th might be premature...been having a hell of a time publishing the map to test things out.

It keeps failing to publish and Monday all my buildings got deleted off the map. Thankfully I had several screen shots and was able to rebuild it all over the last 3 days and save more recent back ups.

Once the publishing issues get resolved, I'll upload it for public testing.

[clever plover]

Yay I'm in a sim and the owner is excited for the map so if he swaps the map when It comes out I'll test it out and lyk

[jaunty trench]

yea ill test the map the day its out, been excited for an urban desert map

[orchid gate]

Im uploading revision 0.0.3 right now. Should be set up for game master ops currently. Please hit me w any feedback you have! This is my first map but I'm trying to put as much detail into it as possible

[clever plover]

@orchid gate am I good to download the map cause it says do not download in the description

[orchid gate]

You should be good! I thought I removed that

[clever plover]

Alr cool

[weary remnant]

Yo mate it don’t have anyway to play the map

@orchid gate it only shows pre alpha work in progress in the workshop and you can’t find it out side the workshop

[orchid gate]

Ok. Heading out on a date night with the wife. If I have time to mess with it when I get home I will. Otherwise it might have to wait until tomorrow

[orchid gate]

That issue has been resolved. Sadly, The map keeps crashing everytime I try to launch it in game. Trouble shooting it now.

[orchid gate]

This is super helpful! thank you

[daring snow]

Yep!

I have a friend of mine who is a map maker, @worthy reef . When he wakes up, I'll have him help you if you want.

[orchid gate]

That would be fantastic! I'm headed to bed in about an hour and a half but I've been stumbling my way through all this formating part of the map making and its frustrating lol.

[daring snow]

Yeah man, get some rest. I'll have him take a peek at it too with you. Feel free to DM me when you wake up!

[orchid gate]

Sounds good. Pushing an update I'm HOPING resolves the issue.

[daring snow]

Spent a shit ton of time watching and pausing this movie, huh?

[orchid gate]

just youtubed the scene lol.

ye

[orchid gate]

.15 is live. It's still not working for me so im curious so see what your logs say

[daring snow]

Downloading it now

[orchid gate]

alright. I can do one more and then I have to go to bed. I should be free most the evening tomorrow after 6pm EST

[daring snow]

Rog

[orchid gate]

Thank you for all your help man

[daring snow]

Of course!

[orchid gate]

Bro....we freaking got it!

[daring snow]

AYYYYYY

[orchid gate]

I had to pull it down and push out one more patch because I forgot to lock and and you could move the buildings around...

[daring snow]

rip

If you want to join us any time during our time on your map, our server is called Task Force Black! Feel free to stop by and have our guys worship you.

[orchid gate]

Lolol! I just might. When do you guys usually play?

[thorn flint]

@orchid gate I’m going to sound like a total idiot but I’m having trouble finding the consulate, I found the annex and zombie land pretty easy but can’t se to pick out which compound is the consulate

[daring snow]

All day!

[meager niche]

It looks wonderful

[worthy reef]

yo

[orchid gate]

Should be almost due north. It has a swimming pool. I'll try to find an old screen shot that shows them in. Relation to each other.

[orchid gate]

Fixed the time scale. I had set the geo location on the map but didnt know I could set the time zone. Time zone is corrected. Also added street lights and darkened the sand texture.

[weary remnant]

If I could only get on the workshop

[orchid gate]

What do you mean?

[weary remnant]

Hold one

Armas just being a silly game

[weary remnant]

lol I can’t shut up about your map and I haven’t even got to check it out yet because I had to work then the game didn’t want to work

[orchid gate]

Oh. It's not a map issue, it's a game issue correct?

Hopefully it lives up to the hype. This is my first map so I'm still figuring things out

[weary remnant]

Yes

One of the members of my unit has connections to grs and knew a lot of the team that was on the ground there when 13 hours happened @orchid gate

[orchid gate]

Oh wow! Would love to get their feedback

[orchid gate]

That's awesome

[rustic raven]

i’m gonna download it and see if i can get some cool screenshots for you to use as workshop thumbnails if you want

it’s been a minute since i’ve added new screenshots but here’s a few examples of what I do https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1168985473272795216

[orchid gate]

That would be great! I'm not much of a photographer lol

[orchid gate]

[orchid gate]

Live now on Benghazi!

[naive ermine]

Holy cow that’s sick!

[rose dagger]

ZOMBIE LAND!!!!

[jaunty trench]

What mod for that opscore?

[orchid gate]

RHS

[thorn flint]

Some cool locations I really hope we’ll see is the road where Jack and Tyrone have they’re standoff as well as the empty lot where the arms deal goes down

[orchid gate]

I hope so too! Just pushed the last update for the month unless we need a hot fix. I'll keep building until we take a performance hit.

[orchid gate]

Let me know if you have any performance issues with the new zombieland. On series x on low settings I'm not having any.

[neat stream]

this is a cool concept for a map just wish the dependencies weren’t so big

[orchid gate]

Yeah. Sorry man. Not sure what else I could do. I needed the city buildings.

[proper cradle]

Waiting time can be pain, but if ur console can at least use remote play feature if phone supports it to start downloads while ur away

[neat stream]

mods don’t take too long to download, it’s storage that is the problem :/

[proper cradle]

I’ve personally never ran into cap limit and I use a ton, usually 140+ loaded up at once, but I get ya

[austere stump]

I may have to use this once it's later in development.

[orchid gate]

Feb update should add quite a bit more area. It's still the biggest city map I've seen so far.

[grim pike]

I'm bouncing in excitement for this map

[orchid gate]

Have you played it yet?

[orchid gate]

Pushing one last update for the month. Rooftops of the annex should be finished

[nocturne dune]

Looking great

[grim pike]

I've played it solo, but the butter is in server (soon)

[orchid gate]

I'm pushing out a hot fix now for a wall that got pushed through the ceiling of building c. Should be live in a few minutes

[drifting scroll]

Is this map out now? Would love to play it

[orchid gate]

It's still a WIP but yeah. There's plenty of city to keep you busy until the next content drop in feb

[drifting scroll]

Affirm ima download it and check it out, thank you

[orchid gate]

You bet! Give me your feedback! If you don't like something, let me know

If you guys get any cool screenshots or videos, post them here too!

[grim pike]

Bet!

[rustic raven]

i’ll be getting more in a few, got some others that haven’t been touched up yet so i’m taking a small movie break before I finish those

[orchid gate]

Nice!

[rocky bone]

I tried to remake a pic that i saw a long time ago lol

[orchid gate]

Love the smoke effects!

[brittle estuary]

Is there any way to get these arsenals without downloading the entire map?

[orchid gate]

Yeah. Middle Eastern buildings by erfue

[orchid gate]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/606D28CC2A1D1C24-MiddleEasternAssets

[brittle estuary]

Thank you!

[orchid gate]

You bet

[orchid gate]

Any update on your pictures?

[sullen quail]

imma use this map soon

[orchid gate]

Great! It's currently a WIP but definitely has plenty of area to play on. Would love your feedback.

[sullen quail]

😄 okay!!

[rustic raven]

I didn’t really like how they turned out, so i’ll be giving them another go here in a few once i’ve fixed my router issues

[stray thistle]

Is this released yet?

[orchid gate]

It's not finished but it's playable and on the workshop currently. There's quite a bit of city available currently.

[stray thistle]

Can you post the link to the mod in the workshop I wanna check it out if that’s okay

[orchid gate]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5F257CF810C543DB-BenghaziLibya

[formal oar]

conflict?

[orchid gate]

Sure thing. Let me know what you think. Looking for feedback on the map. What do you like, what do you not like, what would you change?

[orchid gate]

Haven't tried it but there's this.

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/6078E9421C28E99C-Conflict_Benghazi

[stray thistle]

thanks

[nocturne pier]

Map is awesome! had alot of fun just flying around and making small ai scenarios on Gm. Excited to see this map progress!

[orchid gate]

Thanks man, means a lot. I think your mod pack would really supplement it nicely! Looking forward to that!

Any ideas for improvements?

[nocturne pier]

Thanks mate! Means alot as well! i definitely am excited to see some more stuff around the city get added in but overall the city looks great! Some details in the alley ways and side roads could use some details to make it look more "lively" but other than that it looks great, I love the barriers that divide the road! really nice touch of detail right there. keep up the great work mate!

W map

[orchid gate]

Yeah. I want to go back through and add some debris and trash around the map but I'm worried about possible performance hits. After I build out the port part of the map, I might go back through and add that stuff in.

[nocturne pier]

Im hyped to see the port! Defo a W map forsure already

[orchid gate]

W?

I'm hoping end of March for the port if all goes well.

[grim pike]

W is for Win

[orchid gate]

Oh gotcha. I'm old lol

[grim pike]

Times change too quickly imo
Barely keep up myself

[orchid gate]

So true!

[rotund hamlet]

Hi man, ilke ur work on the map, do u want to open new project with me, for making in iraq fallujah city? igot my own assets for it and own buildings, iraqis buildings styel

[orchid gate]

Hey man, right now all my modding time is going into working on Benghazi. When It's finished I'd be down to work w you but I need to get Benghazi finished first.

[rotund hamlet]

I can help with it if u need.

[orchid gate]

I'm ok for now but I'll let you know if something changes

[nocturne laurel]

Ai perform really well on this map, props to you

[orchid gate]

Glad to hear it! Are you using Vanilla AI or CRX?

[nocturne laurel]

CRX, surprising how well they move through some of these buildings when they struggle on some of the vanilla ones

[orchid gate]

Can confirm. We were just clearing a 7 story and dude went prone on us and crawled behind a couch before popping back up w an rpk

[onyx trellis]

Love the map but it crashes so much unfortunately

Spend like 30 minutes setting something up and then i fire one round and my game explodes

[orchid gate]

Really? What are you setting up? I haven't had any crashes on Xbox or PC?

[onyx trellis]

Im on xbox and all i do is just mess around in offline game master

I’ll place like a squad or 2 and have a couple ai teammates and apparently thats enough to do it for me at least

[orchid gate]

Haven't tested offline game master. Series x or S? What mods are you running?

Also, is it a specific part of the city this is happening in?

[onyx trellis]

I got the series s right now and all im using is rhs some weapon and vehicle mods and a insurgent faction mod

[orchid gate]

Ahhh. What version of RHS are you using? RHS had an update because the latest update created a memory leak w their ai

[onyx trellis]

Every where for me especially around the tarps so I tried just messing with the buildings along the unfinished part of the map and it crashed there as well

[onyx trellis]

The newest version

[orchid gate]

DM me real quick if you would

[onyx trellis]

Im hoping that’s what is causing it cause i really like the map lol im completely sick of boring everon and this feels very fresh

[orchid gate]

What graphics settings are you on too btw?

[nocturne laurel]

Im on series x and most of the map is fine for me, but if im looking in the direction of those tarps my frames get pretty bad

[orchid gate]

Ok. I was worried that might happen. I can remove them in the next update if they're causing issues

[crimson tusk]

only about a 5-6 fps drop on pc but console just been struggling all around after the update

[orchid gate]

I wonder if it's not a BI thing then? Before .95 I was getting 50 FPS looking at the tarps on series x. Feb update should improve FPS a little bit but may remove them until they fix things.

[orchid gate]

University of Benghazi: Coming Soon

[thin finch]

That sky colour just needs changing

Add post process effects and your sorted it looks too European

[orchid gate]

Any idea how to do that?

[sullen quail]

:')

[orchid gate]

How?

[sullen quail]

Would be amazing embassy role play!!

[grim pike]

Id be down for that GM experience. Even put a nice spin on the operation

[orchid gate]

City expansion coming next week

[sullen quail]

yesssss

[orchid gate]

🧐

[amber schooner]

Now, i gotta ask.. aircraft carrier GM prop when?

[orchid gate]

Hmmmm. Not sure. Don't know how to add it as a gm prop. Right now it's just static

[amber schooner]

Might wanna ask someone like strider if you do actually wanna go down that path, he's already made the HMAS Adelaide

[orchid gate]

That's true. If there's enough people who ask for it I might. For now all my modding time and energy is going into building out the map though.

[amber schooner]

Yeah, honestly meant the original comment as a joke

[orchid gate]

Oh gotcha. Without tone of voice, it's hard to pick up on sometimes

[amber schooner]

Yeah, fair enough

[fallow musk]

An American aircraft carrier with an inside would absolutely skyrocket the milsim community

[hazy cypress]

Even just a cargo ship prop would be nice

[obsidian dome]

If you want to add it as gm prop I could help you

[unborn dove]

That would be amazing

https://tenor.com/view/captain-price-price-call-of-duty-call-of-duty-price-price-modern-warfare-call-of-duty-4-modern-warfare-gif-12564201557330175050

[orchid gate]

Dm me. Let's talk

[devout geode]

oh wow, looks like someone beat me to it lol

model looks awesome btw did you make it yourself or is it bought?

[orchid gate]

I purchased them. I'm not smart enough to do that lol

[orchid gate]

The textures on the acc leave a bit to be desired but other than that, I'm happy w the way things turned out.

[devout geode]

it does look good tho, awesome how the map is coming together!

[orchid gate]

Thanks man! Me too!

[dusty veldt]

Aircraft carrier 👀

[orchid gate]

Aircraft carrier, two cargo ships, 3 oil rigs, and I'm working on an oil tanker but it's being stubborn.

[dusty veldt]

Aircraft carrier gm prop ?

[orchid gate]

Not currently. It's just static in the map. Can maybe do that if there's enough demand for it.

[orchid gate]

I'm pushing the update for Benghazi Feb update now. Please let me know if you guys encounter any issues.

[patent niche]

what’s to come in this update?

[patent niche]

Thank you sir, our server is running this map on conflict and it’s awesome,👏

[orchid gate]

So glad to hear! What you l are you using for conflict? Would love to try it out

[patent niche]

Of course, the server should be called “Blood and Sand Benghazi”

[orchid gate]

Rog!

What conflict mod do you use to make Conflict on Benghazi?

[patent niche]

I wasn’t the one who made it, was the owner, not too sure how he made it

[orchid gate]

Oh gotcha will have to try it. Was wanting to try to set up overthrow on Benghazi too. I think that would be sweet

Updates live!

[crimson tusk]

Amazing update, I can confirm we will be running this map 24/7

[orchid gate]

Good deal! Any performance updates? Areas for improvement?

[tiny compass]

Just downloading it now.

[orchid gate]

Rog! Looking for feedback. Help me make it better

[tiny compass]

The city is beautifully done. I do think and this isnt a criticism that this map will end up not being console friendly just due to is sheer size though.

[orchid gate]

Are you having issues on console w the latest update?

[tiny compass]

Not played it to its fullest potential yet. I did have a bit of a stress test on the server just to see if i get the usual on the big maps like being disconnected or server crashes.

I spammed the cluster gmfx and also maxed out the inf ai budgets to simulate a large scale firefight, that didn't have much of an effect on fps in gm anyway. Not sure what it was like on the ground.

I think what might put off ppl is the large dependencys but apart from that it's a great start to the map, and great to have some maritime stuff with the ships and oil rigs too.

[nocturne laurel]

This map is gonna look so good when stable gets the new update with the new lighting

[crimson tusk]

Only complaint I've heard from xbox players is the fps drops at the greenhouses right next to the annex. No issues on PC. And this was after you removed some of the curtains from half of the greenhouses.

[signal cargo]

When I made that it was a quick job so don’t expect much I was trying it

[orchid gate]

I don't think the issue is the greenhouses because I was getting fps drops before they were there. I think it's the bulk of the city is in line w that location and it's all flat there so there's no occluders. I'll try to look into it more and see what I can't find out.

[crimson tusk]

hope this helps in any way, seems to be the parking garage or the kunar building.

[obsidian dome]

Thats reforger issue also happens on vanilla maps sometimes nothing he can do really I think

[orchid gate]

How are you tracking your fps? the upper right corner is saying 50-60? I have no control over afghan buildings sadly

[obsidian dome]

I think its about the disapearing building

[crimson tusk]

GeForce overlay was matching the same as the as the ingame fps so yes. Just noticed drops when facing this building in particular.

[orchid gate]

can you send me a screen shot of the exact location or the grid coordinates?

[crimson tusk]

0119-0333

[orchid gate]

rog. ill take a look at the area tonight and see if theres anything I can do.

Let me know if you find any other problem areas

[woven thorn]

Yeah Check the parking Garage Building. The spawntime is really Long. How Many Polygons? Occlusions? Ngons in Model? How big is the asset in MB?

[orchid gate]

I'll look. I think it's from the Gulf Coast pack

[grim pike]

The gulf coasts pack wrecks havoc on series S
Unsure what's up with that mod specifically, but it's not helpful for server/player stability

[brittle estuary]

Lower end hardware will ofc have lower quality gameplay

[grim pike]

Still, Eastern Conflict buildings don't have the same issue, but it's far more detailed. That's quite a difference.

[orchid gate]

It seems like the Gulf Coast assets have way more polygons than necessary creating a higher load on the machines.

Not super impressed w the series s. Series X seems to handle things pretty well though

[tight hollow]

I didn’t know this was being made but i cant help myself

“Hate to piss on your party ladies but 5 dudes with m4s is not enough”

[crimson tusk]

Any changelog for the update?

[orchid gate]

Update 0.1.1

Fixed:
-Removed Kunar as a dependency
-Fixed Floating Walls near University
-Fixed Floating trees at US Consulate
-Added Lights to US Consulate
-Added additional ladders to USS Nimitz (Can now get to deck of Nimitz from water via ladders at back of ship)
-added shallow area to beach to accommodate walking in water.

Let me know what you think about removing kunar as a dependency. I'm on the fence because the asset pack is nearly as big as the kunar map and most people already have kunar downloaded.

I think kunar is 1765 mb and asset pack is just under 1200 mb

[nocturne laurel]

Is that master cheeks?

[naive ermine]

Are these spawnable through the entity menu on GM?

Just an FYI, the pre placed fancy arsenals in the CIA annex don’t work

[naive ermine]

(Nvm, might be a me issue)

[orchid gate]

They're just cosmetic. You'll have to place your own arsenal boxes

[naive ermine]

Noticed a lot of the gates are duplicated

[orchid gate]

Are you using Odin GM?

[naive ermine]

We don’t have the Odin mod on our server

[orchid gate]

Are you preloading gm scenarios or building them from scratch? I've noticed if I open a saved gm OP, it duplicates all the doors.

[naive ermine]

We do have the enfusion persistence network mod. But this doesn’t happen with any other map.

[native monolith]

It’s probably that. Both the Enfusion persistence mods broke our server, mostly all in game optic sights & some other stuff

[orchid gate]

Yeah. All our optics got trashed by persistence too.

I'll ask around and see if there is a work around for it but in workbench, there's only one set of doors for them so I'm not sure.

[native monolith]

I tried screwing with the load order but nothing seemed to work. Hell, it even screwed up RHS stuff

[orchid gate]

Yup. Same results here

[grim pike]

We have been playing on your map for a bit and at least for my experience as a pilot it's quite difficult to keep frames above 30fps and worse by dark/eventful conditions.

[orchid gate]

Yeah. That's due to two things. The flat terrain and the density of the city.

The next update will probably be the last update to the city itself unless BI boosts performance which I'm told 1.1 is doing.

The flat terrain means I can't add occluders which prevent the game from rendering anything obstructed from view by terrain.

It's also the most densely populated city in game that I know of. The density I think is challenging on the engine, especially on console.

This was my first map and I've learned a lot to take into my next project. I've considered purchasing non enterable buildings to add to the map to make it feel more full w/o eating up performance but I haven't found any I really like yet and it's a lot of work I just don't have time for currently.

[weary remnant]

Bro it’s looking killer

[grim pike]

Between the two building assets, which one is more server friendly or at least performance friendly than the other

[orchid gate]

What do you mean?

[orchid gate]

Thanks man!

[grim pike]

From your added dependencies you have gulf coast buildings and eastern European assets

Between the two, which one is more server friendly in terms of performance

[orchid gate]

Definitely Eastern European. I try to only use gulf coast when I have to and have been searching for 3d models to replace GC stuff but I haven't found anything I like yet that I can afford.

GC seems to have a very high poly count and very poor textures

[grim pike]

Are you looking for more high rise buildings or detached homes?

[orchid gate]

At this point, more high rises but I'm open to both. Trying to find a better quality parking garage and oil rigs right now too

[terse niche]

Is this mod working for anyone?

[orchid gate]

I was running it last night locally hosting it. I haven't had a chance to check it on my server though.

What issues are you experiencing?

[terse niche]

Personally, it’s only from what I’ve heard. Folks have told me the map is down and unable to be used on our server

[orchid gate]

Oh weird. I have a family get together tonight so idk if I'll have time to check into it tonight but I'll try to do some more testing

[terse niche]

Much appreciated. I’ll check on my end later this afternoon once I finish up work to see if he’s just spewing nonsense or if there’s an actual issue

[orchid gate]

Wouldn't surprise me as the update broke everything else too. Ik three of my dependencies have pushed updates to their mods so that might fix it. If not, I'm probably down because of gulf coast buildings which has not put out an update yet.

[terse niche]

Maybe. A lot of our mods got fixed within the last 48 hours. Only 2-3 are still down

[orchid gate]

Yeah. That's been my mileage too. Let me know what you find out and I'll see what I can get done this weekend.

We've had a lot of family stuff going on the past couple weeks so I haven't been able to work on the map as much as I had wanted.

[terse niche]

It’s all good boss. Real life comes first; hope all’s well with your family

[orchid gate]

Thanks man. Appreciate the kind wishes!

I'll just leave it at this in respect to the map, my plans for the March update might be split in half into a March/April update or just solely April update. We will see what I can get finished. By the end of April the city part of the map will likely be finished and I'll work on filling in the more rural areas of the map, adding detail, and attempting to optimize the map somehow.

[terse niche]

Sounds good! I’ll let you know what I find this afternoon

[orchid gate]

Had about 30 minutes to test it. I've got Benghazi working on my server on GM. Although I'm now experiencing the bug someone reported a few days ago w double and triple gates. Not sure how to resolve but I'll be looking into it.

[terse niche]

I saw that same bug a little bit ago. Nothing major; just odd. However the map itself loads and works fine?

[orchid gate]

Yup! Sample size of me on PingPerfect w most my mods

[orchid gate]

{3B14002FB7479B56}Missions/GM_Benghazi.conf

[terse niche]

Cheers. Checking it now

Main issue I’m experiencing

Unsure if I’m missing some mods that need to be downloaded or what the problem is

[orchid gate]

Can you dm me your server json file?

Are you on Xbox or PC?

[terse niche]

Xbox, and yes I can

[orchid gate]

Ok. I've only tested PC so far. I'll see if someone can hop on w an Xbox to test

[amber schooner]

In my experience clearing my mods fixed it

[orchid gate]

Thanks for the info. Are you on PC or Xbox?

[amber schooner]

I am on Xbox

[orchid gate]

UPDATE: I'm not sure what's caused it but somehow every gate, street light, jersey barrier, and car in the map has been duplicated. I'm in the middle of removing all the duplicates.

I'm hoping to push a hot fix by Monday morning. I'm also hoping this greatly improves performance on the map.

[orchid gate]

Update 0.1.2

Update 0.1.2Fixed:
-Removed thousands of duplicate entities including gates (hopefully will improve performance).
-Expanded city
-Added new building entities.

[orchid gate]

Looking for feedback in regards to performance on the latest update.

Is it better, worse, or the same?

Please tell me you platform too. Looking primarily for feedback from series s, series x, and lower spec PC's primarily.

[rotund hamlet]

Hi mate 0.1.3 isn’t loading the a game fully when players try to load in

I’ve had to role back to 0.1.2

[dense iron]

Yeah i can’t load in fully as well or just gets stuck on the loading screen

[orchid gate]

Same here. All 1.3 changed was some minor stuff so stay on 1.2 while I try to investigate the issue.

Are you getting any error logs?

[orchid gate]

Do you have any error logs?

[rotund hamlet]

I have dropped to 1.2 mate so I can’t check till the morning sorry

[orchid gate]

You're all good. We're playing tonight so after we're done I'll move back to 1.3 as well to see what I get. I didn't intentionally delete anything so I'm not certain what the issue is. Everything is working in workbench currently...

[rotund hamlet]

It’s a strange one I was accidentally raging earlier when someone told me it wasn’t working as this is our first night on the map and was so excited to try it

[viral gate]

I can't load in at all, none of my guys can

[orchid gate]

Yeah. Something got screwed up between 1.2 and 1.3. I'm investigating the issue but please roll back to 1.2. I'll make a post in here when I get it fixed.

Please everyone stay on 1.2 until I confirm it's working again.

[orchid gate]

Don't update to 1.4

[orchid gate]

0.1.5 is working on my end. Please test it and let me know if there's any issues.

[rotund hamlet]

I have guys loading the update now I will let you know

@orchid gate servers up guys can load in only issue we have is placing spawns seems to delay but we had that in 0.1.2 also so I’m guessing it’s a known issue

[orchid gate]

Yeah. I've been having that issue in Kunar too though it takes longer in Benghazi. I'm not sure if it's due to the density of Benghazi or something wrong w 1.1 update.

I'll keep looking into it.

[orchid gate]

1.6 uploaded. Removed half the street lights for hopefully higher fps. Please send me your feedback.

[orchid gate]

Planning on pushing the official March update 0.2.0 this weekend.

I have expanded the city north into the port area. Not sure yet if the port will be completed or not yet but things are looking promising.

Additionally, I have made a small conflict mode for the map. This is a beta version of it for testing so let me know what you all think. How does it play, how is performance, what tweaks would you like to see made to it?

Lastly, I have placed large hills around the outside of the city to hopefully increase performance when outside the city. (Reduces the amount of rendering the engine has to do through the use of occluders. Again, let me know what you think of this idea.

Currently hoping to push the update Saturday or Sunday night.

[sullen quail]

should be comapt with both us pC and the xbox players right?

[orchid gate]

Correct. If you have any issues, let me knowTrying to come up w ways to increase performance but there's not really much more I can do without completely restarting the map.

Patch notes

Added:
-Port of Benghazi
-Expanded city to northern coastline
-Docked Cargo Ship
-Beta Conflict mode
-Two combat outposts in Conflict Mode.
-Exchanged dependencies for additional building variety.
-hills around the outside of the city to hopefully increase performance when outside the city.

[hearty idol]

What was the update brother lol I’m a little lost. Was it the Above ☝️

[orchid gate]

Just fixed some issues in conflict mode

[orchid gate]

Updates planned for April's 0.3.0 update! Also planned are some tweaks to conflict mode.

[orchid gate]

[old wren]

@tepid river this may be of interest @orchid raft

[tepid river]

when i load up your Map in the workbench and look at the city its gives me Massive FPS drops is that also gonna happen in the Game on a Server or is there a way to minimize the FPS drops?

[orchid gate]

There's parts of the city where I get lower FPS. Like the area of tabalino. Oddly enough it seems to be the areas w heavy Kiok building set ups. I'm hoping he updates his building pack like he did his map. This should fix it or at least improve it.

IDK what your system specs are but I get 100-120 fps throughout 90 percent of the map. Tabalino and parts of Al Kish are the only exceptions for me. Hope this helps.

[old wren]

Noticed the size on it, is there any plans to remove some of the dependences? as its 7 gbs with everything

[orchid gate]

I'll have to look into that. It was around 3 for me last I checked. There's no current plans to remove dependencies as it would delete parts of the map.

[old wren]

Your map alone IS 2.4, Gulf coast buildings are 1.9 Gb Core is 1.4

[old wren]

It looks great, just the space required is huge,

Were looking for maps for a rotation so we gotta watch how big maps are haha

[orchid gate]

Ohh I'm tracking. Sadly, both are very heavily utilized so I can't remove them. My next map will not be using gulf coast at all.

[old wren]

Np, i cant wait to see!

[orchid gate]

Totally understand that. Ik Xbox players have a cap on downloads. I play w primarily Xbox users and they just delete maps we aren't using for space. I try to update the servers every Sunday so they can get everything set up for Wednesdays

[old wren]

Np! Yea like i said we Have a server that can rotate maps now after every round, but we gotta watch how big the maps are or we clog up downloads! thanks for your time!

[orchid gate]

How do you do that? That sounds awesome! If you haven't tried Fallujah by Heine, it's really good too!

[old wren]

Its essentially, a scenario loader, an Were looking at that but having issues getting it to work

[orchid gate]

Is the scenario loader a mod or a configuration for your server?

[naive ermine]

There is a mod that lets server admins change the scenario while in game

[orchid gate]

Do you have a link or know what it's called?

I love Libya

[orchid gate]

Thanks man! Any suggestions, tips, or concerns?

[hoary minnow]

Experiment try new things on the map

[orchid gate]

Working on it. May update should include a wadi, a safe house, some mountain trails, and two new mountain villages

[hoary minnow]

I meant like try caves mountains just cool unique things ik those aren’t very unique but you know what I mean. Have fun with it, it makes it so much more unique and fun to play on.

[orchid gate]

Yeah caves are tricky because there's really no way to actually make them. You have to put a trench in the side of a mountain and then cover it with rocks and boulders. It really sticks out but as of right now, May update will add at least one "cave" as I've described.

[orchid gate]

[hoary minnow]

I love this map so much

[orchid gate]

Great! It's still being worked on but I thinks It's in a pretty good place right now!

[robust light]

how long do you think it will be until its finished?

[orchid gate]

No clue man. I work on it when I have time. July and August updates are going to be pretty light as Im busy w/ work and family right now. in the fall and winter progression will pick up again.

[crisp berry]

Is this mod broken right now? It shows it’s size on the workshop as 0 B and i cant get it to download.

[orchid gate]

Weird. I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see what I can't find out!

[drowsy flower]

Mod update?

[orchid gate]

Trying to fix the update errors.

Added 3 enterable and boardable oil tankers in the Gulf
Added damn a long the the river
Updated soldiers, btrlike, and lowres navmesh
Removed combat ops and conflict mode
Will try to read conflict mode later this week after I have time to remake it.

[orchid gate]

Try it now and see if it works. Are you on Xbox or PC

[crisp berry]

Im on series x, got it to work. Thanks!

[orchid gate]

Glad to hear it! I think there was a change to something in conflict and that was the issue. I'm trying to rebuild it but nothing seems to work currently. Might be longer than expected.

[drowsy flower]

Yeah its also says 0b as well but it says that to other mods its a BI problem

[orchid gate]

Still?? It worked for me and for Paul on the latest update. Are you still able to run the map?

[orchid gate]

How do we feel about Mountain top fortresses with underground terrorist training camps?

[viral gate]

@orchid gate I love it

[orchid gate]

Hoping to have it finished and published by next Sunday morning.

[grim pike]

That would be insane! Down to check that out

[orchid gate]

Everything's finished. Just need to sculpt it and texture it now

[vernal siren]

Interesting. Will the AI be able to navigate that?

[orchid gate]

Not sure yet. I'll be testing it this week. They should be able to navigate everything except maybe the entrance tunnels which may not be a bad thing

[orchid gate]

AI seem to be able to navigate everything fine including the tunnels

Easter Egg of an upcoming project Ive been working on.

Hasani Fortress

[dense iron]

Been awhile since I’ve checked out this map is it pretty stable now to run on Xbox

[fallow musk]

https://tenor.com/view/forrest-gump-hole-vietnam-war-tom-hanks-check-that-hole-gif-15092585

[orchid gate]

Series X can play it without issue. Series S probably shouldn't play the game at all.

Hoping to push the August update this upcoming Sunday. Everythings finished but I'm still testing it for bugs.

[dense iron]

Awesome thank you for he info!

[prime sleet]

Congratulations on the evolution of the map, it is becoming incredible. I intend to do operations on it soon.

[orchid gate]

Thanks bro. Same to you! Been watching Bergamo quite closely and been writing up a few OP ideas for it.

Running OPs on Fallujah all of September!

[onyx trellis]

Haven’t checked your map out ina while

But i did tonight and it looks really good

[orchid gate]

Thanks man! I'll be pushing the August update Sunday with all the screen shots I added above. Would love your feedback on that

[onyx trellis]

Really the only feed back id give you so far is the giant floating ship above the water

Thats the only issue i had other than my friend who plays console says its super laggy

[orchid gate]

Do you know which ship that is? Ill fix it before Sunday.

As for console, there's not a whole lot I can do. Consoles struggle on the density of the city which is why I stopped expanding it and started adding other locations around the map.

[onyx trellis]

Ummm im not sure actually ill hop on and get a screen shot after i clean some dishes

I just know its a massive red ship hovering near the city

[orchid gate]

That would be great because in world editor they're all in the water.

[onyx trellis]

Alr will do 👍🏽

[orchid gate]

Thanks man! Found it and its deleted! Didn't realize it was above the clouds.

[onyx trellis]

All good bro i honestly noticed it cause i was running the 25k render distance mod so i could see it lurking from the city

[orchid gate]

I usually try and do a week of testing before I publish an update and I never noticed it lol. Right now Im trying to figure out how to get bridges to show up on the paper map and get the AI to be able to cross the bridges.

[onyx trellis]

Yeah im sure that’s difficult with the finicky ai

[orchid gate]

Yeah. for sure.

[orchid gate]

Uploading now. Update 0.7.0

Added Hasani Fortress
Added Underground Cave Training Facility
Removed Floating Ship
Regenerated Navmeshes
Updated In-Game Map

Worthy note, I have yet to figure out how to make bridges show up on ingame map or how to get AI to recognize them. WIll update when I figure this out

Send me your feedback

[robust light]

not a modder but i dont think bridges being shown on map is possible

[orchid gate]

For some it is. For some its not. If I ever figure it out. Ill post about it.

[wind copper]

Ooo this is neat!

[orchid gate]

You should play it and let me know what you think!

[wind copper]

I'm definitely going to! Our group has been looking for more maps to play on!

[orchid gate]

Highly recommend Syraq, Fallujah, and Rahhaliya too for similar maps.

Benghazi is a good mix of Mountains, City, and Maritime though

[wind copper]

Our pub server is on fallujah rn and we are currently on kunar

Is this the same name as its called om the workshop?

[orchid gate]

Yessir!

[wind copper]

Sick!

[orchid gate]

Are you guys on Xbox or PC?

[wind copper]

Both

[orchid gate]

Center of the city might see performance hits for Xbox but everywhere else should be good. Xbox might end up in the 20 fps range in the All Kish areas. Apparently Kiok is working on improving the performance of his buildings which should greatly improve this but until then, it is what it is.

[wind copper]

Yeah I kinda figured with all the structures and such, some of our guys have issues on fallujah in the city but it is what it is tbh. Still better than arma 3 lol

[orchid gate]

Facts. There's ships you can board, oil rigs, mountains. Should have a lot of replay ability

[wind copper]

I'll definitely check it out after work, maritime shit is cool

How are the nav meshes on the oil rigs? I know that the ai are kinda dumb and will walk off the ledges sometimes

[orchid gate]

I've never had them do that in internal testing and played 2 ops on them without it happening that I'm aware of. Would be interested to hear If you experience this. If so, I'll add some railings in the next update to keep them safe 😂

[wind copper]

Lol I will let you know

[orchid gate]

I am aware of the Wolf's building pack update. I'm working on fixing the buildings now and hoping to get the September update out by this upcoming Sunday if not before. The upcoming update features something special for fans of the show Seal Team or anyone who likes sneaking into underground bunkers through ventilation shafts. Also working on adding in a refugee camp and smoothing out some roads.

[prime sleet]

Very cool, do you mind if I use this layout in Bergamo?

[orchid gate]

Not at all. I copied it from a TV show.

[orchid gate]

I just emailed you a poorly recorded video of the layout

[prime sleet]

Thank u so much

[naive ermine]

Heh, that’s from seal team huh? Looks familiar to a raid they did in one of the episodes. If so that’s legit bro!

[orchid gate]

It is from Seal Team. Has the ventilation shaft and all

[naive ermine]

Oh man I am giddy

[orchid gate]

You'll have to give me some feedback once its uploaded. Hoping for a Sunday update

Thoughts on these dust particle effects inside the refugee camp?

[thorn flint]

Dude it’s looking dope, we’re gonna have to return to Benghazi soon to play with all the new locations you’ve been adding

[naive ermine]

I mainly wonder how they might affect performance, are you able to adjust the color of them at all to make it look more like a dirty/sand dusty?

[orchid gate]

I am not. From my internal testing they don't appear to have any impact on performance. The tents however might but my laptop is also anemic. Once the update comes out and I can test it more thoroughly, I might redo it w empty tents

[orchid gate]

Update 0.8.1 Live
-Added underground mountain bunker with metal door and ventilation shaft entrances as featured in TV Show: Seal Team.

-Added Refugee Camp

-Added Dilapidated Airstrip

-Added foliage and trees to some open desert areas

-Reworked some roads to be more flat and vehicle friendly

-Made map compatible with latest version of WolfBuildingPack (No more floating buildings)

-Regenerated Navemeshes

[void sandal]

Im checking the map rn and dont really understand the particles, moreover I think that there are too much

[orchid gate]

I'm hoping to get some testing in tonight on my gaming PC and make some tweaks to the refugee camp. The tents don't have occluders so they effect performance quite a bit. Going to have to rethink some things.

[orchid gate]

Its supposed to give the impression of a dust storm

[orchid gate]

Update 0.8.3

-Reworked Refugee camp to slightly improve performance
-Reworked roads to be smoother
-Added additional details to Underground Bunker, Refugee Camp, and Airstrip.
-Improved terrain elevations around city to be more flat or appropriate with terrain.
-Regenerated Navmeshes.

[royal lagoon]

Have to tell you that you are doing an amazing job with this map, my favorite by far. Can't wait til it's finished, which I know won't be for a while.

[orchid gate]

Thanks man! I appreciate it! Currently trying to figure out ways to improve the performance on it while also reducing the dependency size.

[orchid gate]

No updates this month. Taking a break from Benghazi until April when I plan to start an overhaul to reduce dependencies and download size as well as improve performance if possible.
